History of the Atlanta Fire Dept.

[GA_Dave]

Here's more info and some answers to all the questions:



I managed to get out and shoot the new Air 7 and Engine 36 today. E-36 is running with the 1997 Spartan/Quality 1500/500 that was formerly assigned to Engine 21 and is a twin to the Engine 38 posted above (I was wrong about it being a 1996, it's a '97). They are located in temporary quarters behind the West Atlanta School on Kimberly Road, just south of Cascade Road.



I have not heard any official word on the new Ladder 11, except that it will be a platform.



Quint 4 is NOT a Fulton County rig, it belongs to the City of Sandy Springs. It's a 2006 Pierce Dash 2000/500/105' rearmount. Former FCFD Stations 6, 2, 22 and Atlanta Station 39 (FCFD E-4) are now Sandy Springs Stations 1, 2, 3 and 4, in that order. Since it runs in Atlanta, I probably should include it. Give me a few minutes, I'll have to dig it out and scan it.



I plan to post everything I have, but it will take time. Since many of the rigs are identical except the company number, I only shot a representative example.



I don't know where all of the Grumman towers went. One did end up in Connecticut. The Morrisville, TN rig is NOT one of them. I can't give exact numbers as to how many were built, but there were quite a few. Some had pumps, some didn't.
